Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • CEOofCaren BB (DMC 3 biggest fan) (@CEOofCaren) reported

    There’s a glitch in overwatch where it removes you from a match but I think I know how to not get removed.

  • CluelessLyfe CluelessLyfe (@CluelessLyfe) reported

    Overwatch has such a ******* HUGE balancing problem! Mercy is *so much* cuter than everyone else and I feel like this isn't fair to all the other characters in the game ☹☹☹

  • Sir12P Blue//JuniPe (@Sir12P) reported

    @xXCayde6 @shbzz @JewelsVEVO imo it's a reason modern warfare 2 was fun, overwatch to a slight degree. if everything is broken, nothing is UBER broken

  • camaropharaoh E-Solo (@camaropharaoh) reported

    Man #Overwatch is with the toxicity today… Heals are NOT the problem when the most eliminations anyone has is 2… Don’t @ me!

  • Urs00P URS00P (@Urs00P) reported

    I hate when my #overwatch match shuts down due to an unexpected error…..then the match right after is a leaver absolutely wiped match…..I’ve never been thrown out of a match and then had a good game the next….it’s always a roll. Like my rank reset or something I hate it.

  • Nofen_n Nofen (@Nofen_n) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ And that's the problem here. That's why there is still so many people on overwatch.

  • Gandala_ Collin | Gandala (@Gandala_) reported

    Does anyone know I way I could get my hands on overwatch hero blender models my UModel is broken.

  • Onionknightpld2 Onionknight (@Onionknightpld2) reported

    @DisTrackers @funkofinderz @fivebelow Same thing they did with some Overwatch and Crash Bandicoot minis. I prefer these over mystery minis, don't have to waste money this way.

  • Supremacy_OW Female supremacy (@Supremacy_OW) reported

    The overwatch communty calls every hero that can one shot someone broken. Even if it takes skill to one shot someone on that hero

  • Mavrakk Mavrakk 🃏 (@Mavrakk) reported

    “My ult doesn’t solve this issue” #overwatch And also if the first thing about your game is porn related hashtags, you probably don’t got a game that is competitively viable

  • RacheL_MtF 🔞MokaKola 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 (@RacheL_MtF) reported

    @rezepng At least it's not Overwatch Then there'd be issues

  • domino_jack Domino Jack (@domino_jack) reported

    In the last 2 days, a lot of my #Overwatch games have had so many throwers, smurfs, people using hacks and people being toxic. On both my team and the enemy teams. Like I know these things have always been a problem, but geeze I ran into a lot of them over the weekend. 😮‍💨

  • Brig1TrickPony Abhinav Banerjee (@Brig1TrickPony) reported

    @esaliano @TeriosGaming Pretty sure they've tried everything they could to solve all these issues people seem to complain about endlessly. Heck, they updated the game over 80 times in the year of 2020. Now they have given up on Overwatch and are working hard on Overwatch for a new beginning.

  • MahoxyO Mahoxy_ (@MahoxyO) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ IMO overwatch has the same problem as Dead By Daylight: they are basically unrivaled in their categories. Why do you think both still have a strong fan base? Even though they’re both not fun to play as of now, there’s no alternatives to the games.

  • Eplays_Ethan Ethan (@Eplays_Ethan) reported

    Sometimes it balances out and we get smurfs on both teams, but that's not an excuse. A problem happening to both teams is not balance, its a problem. Your game is broken, toxic, and exploitable. I love overwatch, but this makes the game unplayable for anyone below 3k. I'm done.

  • griller72 griller7 (@griller72) reported

    @chunguspilled So many bad picks. Always funny how the Pokemon game they always put on these lists is from gen 1 when those are some of the worst and most broken in the series. Also Overwatch and Fortnite why

  • Comenda93 Comenda9 (@Comenda93) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Ty overwatch team for the "server error" that banned me from ranked games. check ur server. Then start letting as know thats u working on the game or there is a server error

  • InamiHD chief smeef (@InamiHD) reported

    No overwatch for 12 hours.. idk what im going to do man, overwatch is my life. overwatch is my passion, its what i enjoy playing i will skip school tomorrow just so I can play the new season and grind the challenges. Why did they do this to me plz bring the servers back up Broken

  • E_Fargo Just Everton (@E_Fargo) reported

    @reaper_szn Missing Overwatch😔 but W for Crash and Spyro🔥

  • TheGallowayOW GallowayOW (@TheGallowayOW) reported

    @cyx_ow The issue for me, it takes like 10 hours to play just to get a game that actually feels like overwatch, without cheaters, people flaming, people throwing, or getting insta rolled off the start of the game.

  • GIGGITYMAN01 RADICÄL CRÄCKER 10.0 (@GIGGITYMAN01) reported

    @ghostaie_ Not gonna lie, I would totally love to play overwatch with you dude! Problem is... I'm poor as helllll :(((

  • n0va0w n0va (@n0va0w) reported

    @SamitoFPS @PlayOverwatch “Asking for overwatch to fix their game” - jay3 Both Sam and jay3 “hahaaaahaaa” A couple weeks ago that was you asking them to fix their game now and jay and unsalted are laughing

  • Rebel_ACM13 Rebel_13 (@Rebel_ACM13) reported

    @TheRealEnate Yeah I still prefer my other games instead of spending 100+ hrs. Frankly don't even have that much time just to play one gamr, but all my old school buds are either on FIFA, COD, Overwatch, BF or something. Very rarely do I play those. So many gems, often have trouble finishing.

  • Stylosa Stylosa (@Stylosa) reported

    @4Motumbu It’s hard to answer without playing Overwatch 2. That’s the big problem everyone is having. We think in Overwatch terms. Blizz need to give us more info on OW2. Oh and a beta haha.

  • MisakiBeats MISAKIBeats (@MisakiBeats) reported

    @G4m3M4ni4c @iupdate That's the equivalent of saying, "I Take my tea with salt and other times with sugar and I see no difference" I think your eyes have issues, go play some AAA games, play Overwatch at 60fps, then at 120fps. If you see no change, go see an eye doctor... I'm serious.

  • ILoveSterlin Sterling K (@ILoveSterlin) reported

    like are your daddy issue really my problem? or are you just another dumb **** who lies to get closer to dude who absolutely do not want them -- the main theme of overwatch .

  • The_Real_Zeo Zeo (@The_Real_Zeo) reported

    Also during my stream splitgate was playing fine but now after it was lagging and so was Overwatch. I never ******* lag on Overwatch I don’t understand

  • agarrard944 bagel sauce (@agarrard944) reported

    @BlizzardCS Overwatch load times are insane. Fix it - you are the 1%.

  • UncleMerk Merk (@UncleMerk) reported

    I wanna know the general opinion of the overwatch community Is hog broken?

  • keplerniko KeplerNiko (@keplerniko) reported from Vilnius, Vilniaus apskritis

    Overwatch crash on first game, frustrating. Now I’m probably suspended for 15 minutes.
